This work lucidates bell hooks' social and educational theory,
with emphasis on her 1994 book, "Teaching to Transgress: Education
as the Practice of Freedom." Florence deals with the issues of
marginality and cultural alienation that are so prevalent among
certain groups within the American society and presents strategies
to help develop critical consciousness and affirmation of formerly
subordinated cultural traits and characteristics. Her study
resonates with current themes raised by critical, feminist and
multicultural scholars showing how marginalized groups may be
guilty of reinforcing their own status through complicity with the
dominant culture's world view, and how education can empower them
to demand a more egalitarian society and one that recognizes
cultural plurality.
